Jewrythmics ft. Joe Fleisch & Maria Telnov – Papirosen

Yiddish Disco Music

Jewrhythmics declare in their Debut Album's Manifest: "Yiddish is dead? Long live Yiddish!". The language that is supposed to be dead has been experiencing an amazing renaissance since the end of the 20th in particular outside of Israel. At the same time, also disco music – that easy and danceable genre, which has been predicted the end many times – experiences a revival again. Disco is the one genre that becomes resurrected in new metamorphoses over and over again and proves its extreme resilience in a music industry that spits out new genres and geniuses almost every second day.

Jewrhythmics' music is an exciting mixture of those both declared to be a dying breed genres. They revive language und music and breathe new life into both. There are only rare moments in the actual music scene to hear something that has not been heard before. And there are only a few projects, which are brave enough to leave the common used path and to break new (music-) grounds. The project Jewrhythmics has the courage to take this step into unfamiliar terrain, combining what was previously unconnected: Yiddish's classics embedded in synth sounds of the '80s disco era.

To everyone assuming Yiddish to be a “dead language”: it isn’t!

¡Super recomendado!

“Un verdadero paradigma de porqué el cine continúa siendo relevante hoy. Hay belleza, sufrimiento y urgencia en esta película... nos recuerda que el mayor desafío del hombre, es el desafío por la verdad.”

Elliot Gould, Presidente del Jurado en Edimburgo

“Tal vez el mejor retrato de familia del cine argentino: una película única basada en un material infinito, procesado por un montaje obsesivo e implacable.”

Quintín, La lectora provisoria

“Papirosen despliega cuatro generaciones de historia centrándose en puntos inesperados. Una obra única de historiografía que se sumerge al mismo tiempo en las sombras del pasado y en las viscisitudes del presente. Es menos un homenaje que una elegía ambivalente desprovista de sentimentalismos donde la silenciosa devastación merodea cada detalle.”

Jay Kuehner, Cinema Scope

“En lugar de seguir un hilo, la deslumbrante película de Solnicki prefiere dispersarse, ir hacia todos los confines en los que el cine o la narración le brinden refugio.”

Horacio Bernades, Página/12
